The success continued in the third, sixth, fifth, and second Gopher positions. After winning the first set 6-3, Froment tallied a mark of 5-2 in the second before delivering an overhand smash for the win. Ruben Weber also notched a two-set victory, a 6-4, 6-4 mark, over Nicholas Kamisar, to ensure the enlightened victory for the team.
